Ideally the US, I need to find a precedent.

Don't know the answer to this, but from experience (as an architect
talking to planning authorities in the UK) no CITY in the world would
be crazy enough to do this, economic pressures will always win out if
somebody wants to build a tall building.

Thank you for your response. From one architect to another-as much as
I logically agree with your statement from an economic standpoint,
there are at least 3 cities that I'm aware of in Europe abiding by
such a statute, namely Rome, Lazio, and Prague. But I may be mistaken.
Regardless I'm still looking for the US model which I'm starting to
think doesn't exist.
